Crossing Chaos! Meeting the Starry Dragon Emperor!
Endless thunderclouds continued to churn, filling the sky with an aura of Destruction.
At this moment, Xu Xingyu stood between heaven and earth, the surrounding space already destroyed beyond recognition by the Lightning Tribulation.
Although the previous Lightning Tribulation were extremely dangerous, they were merely a prelude compared to the Chaos Lightning Tribulation that was about to descend.
Chaos Lightning Tribulation is the most primordial and powerful energy in the universe, symbolizing the chaotic origin at the beginning of creation.
All things are born from chaos and return to chaos. The tribulation before us is far more powerful than any previous Lightning Tribulation; it is not only Destruction but also creation.
Xu Xingyu took a deep breath, having mobilized all her strength to the limit.
His body was already riddled with holes, but his indomitable will kept him standing tall. He knew that this was not just a Lightning Tribulation, but a rebirth of his life.
The sky suddenly fell silent; all sound seemed to have been sucked away, leaving only a suffocating sense of oppression.
Immediately afterwards, a bolt of chaotic lightning suddenly descended. It was a power that transcended all elements, without a fixed form, yet contained the origin of all things.
The lightning struck Xu Xingyu with overwhelming force. He did not dodge, for he knew that this was a calamity he could not escape; he could only endure it.
Boom!
The Power of Chaos instantly invaded his body, as if to tear him apart completely.
However, at the same time as this Destruction, he also felt a completely new change—the power of chaos was not just destroying, it was reshaping everything within his body.
This power seemed to be heading straight for the Soul Core. His three Soul Core — the Sun Soul Core, the Moon Soul Core, and the Star Soul Core —had already reached the level of Divine Core during the previous Lightning Tribulation. And now, these three Divine Core were undergoing some kind of strange change under the influence of the Power of Chaos.
"What is this feeling..." Xu Xingyu murmured softly. He could clearly feel the Power of Chaos reorganizing his Soul Core. The three Soul Core began to fuse in a mysterious way, as if they were about to transform into a completely new existence.
This fusion was not merely an enhancement of power, but more like a transformation. His body gradually became transparent during this process, as if his entire being was merging into the universe.
"My body... no, it's my soul!"
He was horrified to discover that his soul seemed to be undergoing an unprecedented transformation. His soul seemed to have transformed into a vast galaxy, each star radiating endless energy, and all of this was growing in the direction of a completely new universe!
Chaotic lightning struck continuously, each bolt tearing Xu Xingyu's body and soul even more thoroughly, while simultaneously propelling him to an even higher realm.
When the last bolt of chaotic lightning struck, his body was suddenly blasted apart, turning into countless specks of light. But in the instant these specks of light scattered, they quickly coalesced again, transforming into a completely new being.
At this moment, Xu Xingyu finally overcame the Chaos Lightning Tribulation, and his strength achieved an unprecedented leap.
However, when he looked down to sense his own power, he was surprised to find that his power was not as strong as he had imagined; in fact, it had weakened.
"How could this happen?" Xu Xingyu frowned.
He had clearly completed the Dragon God Nine Trials, and the Dragon God's God Position had already merged with him. Logically, his power should have been even greater.
Just as he was wondering, a deep and familiar voice resounded from within him. "That's only natural."
"Who?" Xu Xingyu suddenly looked up, warily scanning his surroundings. But the next moment, his attention was drawn to the Star Soul Pearl between his eyebrows.
Suddenly, the Star Soul Pearl burst forth with a dazzling light, and a figure slowly emerged from it.
Xu Xingyu's eyes widened. That figure was incredibly familiar to him—it was his first life!
"The Starry Dragon Emperor..."
The figure slowly solidified, revealing a face exactly like Xu Xingyu's, but with a completely different temperament.
It was a transcendent majesty, as if he himself were the embodiment of the stars, the master of the universe.
"Well, in this life, you've finally reached this level." The Starry Dragon Emperor smiled and spoke, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing, yet also revealing a touch of satisfaction.
Xu Xingyu's heart was filled with shock. He never expected that he would see his past life when he crossed the Chaos Lightning Tribulation and completed the Dragon God Nine Trials.
"You... I..." Xu Xingyu opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
The Starry Dragon Emperor chuckled softly and said calmly, "It seems you have many questions. Don't worry, I will answer all your questions over the next period of time."
"And as you ask why I exist when you clearly exist? I am merely a memory fragment separated from you in your previous life before reincarnation. My existence is solely to convey something to you at this moment and give you a choice."
"A choice?" Xu Xingyu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes," the Starry Dragon Emperor nodded, "But before that, I'd like to explain why your strength has been weakened."
"Actually, it's quite simple. The God Position of the Dragon God is already a burden for you."
"A burden?" Xu Xingyu frowned.
"Yes." The Starry Dragon Emperor's expression turned serious. "While the Dragon God Divinity is powerful, its power was essentially designed for the original Dragon God. You, however, have long surpassed the limits that the original Dragon God could reach. In other words, this God Position is actually a constraint for you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu suddenly understood. No wonder he felt his power had decreased after fusing with the God Position; it turned out to be due to the limitations of the Dragon God Divinity.
"So, how should I solve this problem?" Xu Xingyu asked.
The Starry Dragon Emperor smiled slightly, a profound light flashing in his eyes. "The answer is simple: create your own God Position."
"God Position that belongs to me..." Xu Xingyu murmured to herself, countless thoughts surging in her mind.
The Starry Dragon Emperor slowly approached, gently placing his hand on Xu Xingyu's shoulder, and said, "However, before that, I will give you a choice: to peacefully inherit the Dragon God's God Position. Even if the Dragon God's God Position weakens your true power, the strength you can exert is already comparable to that of a primordial god."
"Or perhaps we should continue on this path, uncover the truth of everything, and reach true transcendence."
Although Xu Xingyu didn't quite understand, he could sense that the person in front of him was indeed a memory that had been separated from his own, and that the person hadn't lied to him.
Finally Xu Xingyu closed her eyes and said, "I want to know the truth of everything! I have a feeling that if I want to protect what I want to protect, then the mere Dragon God Divinity is not enough!"
Upon hearing this, the Starry Dragon Emperor chuckled, "As expected, you will choose this path... As expected of me..."
With that, he raised his hand and waved it, and the Star Soul Pearl once again burst forth with dazzling light, enveloping Xu Xingyu within it.
"Next, I will pass on all my memories to you, memories that contain all the truth. But remember, you are you, and I am me. Do not be swallowed up by these memories; maintain your own identity."
"Although I am your past life, you and I are both the same and different beings."
At that moment, the light within the Star Soul Pearl suddenly transformed into a vast galaxy, with each star containing countless fragments of memories.
They transformed into countless points of light, slowly merging into Xu Xingyu's brow, as if the truth of the entire universe was surging into the depths of his soul at this moment.
